Kamala Harris, a first-term senator and former California attorney general known for her rigorous questioning of President Donald Trump’s nominees, entered the Democratic presidential race on Monday.

Vowing to “bring our voices together,” Harris would be the first woman to hold the presidency if she succeeds.

Harris selected Baltimore for her campaign headquarters, with her staff citing the city’s diversity and proximity to Washington as factors in the decision. A campaign spokeswoman said Monday that she could not yet say where specifically in Baltimore operations will be located. Harris will also have an office in Oakland, California.
